Tomorrow they have a big day ahead of them as they make their way to Agulogo. Vincent and John asked Eric to pass on to friends and family back home that they are ok and doing well.

Update 16th June 2018

Trek 1117: At 12:42pm I received a message from Ivan Semie: Good morning (think he thought it was not yet afternoon), we are at the top of Maguli Range. Everyone is doing well. Think of them out there on the Kokoda Trail today. By now they should be at their destination of Agulogo.

Update 17th June 2018

Trek 1117: This trek has now reached Launumu (Efogi II). A tough walk up Brigade earlier today was followed by passing the half way point when they moved on down to Launumu. Apparently all trekkers are feeling the heat and humidity of the tropics and are looking forward to the cooler temperature as they head on towards Kokoda.

Update 18th June 2018

Trek 1117: Eric phoned a short time ago just as excited as Ramsy our guide on trek 1118. He informed me that they are all ok and his trekkers are happy and looking forward to another day ahead of them tomorrow when they head down to Templeton’s Crossing. Tonight finds them at the bottom of Mt Bellamy commonly referred to as Dump 1.

Update 19th June 2018

Treks 1117 & 1118: Eric has advised that they are now at Alola Village sharing with another trekking company. They are perfectly positioned to head down to Deniki for the night tomorrow and walk off the track mid morning into Kokoda. Trek 1118 that commenced a day later are now at Templeton’s Crossing and will head to Isurava Memorial tomorrow night which should see them reach Kokoda mid afternoon on the 21st. Both treks advised its hot, no rain but nights have been very cold after passing the half way point of Efogi.

Update 20th June 2018

Treks 1117 & 1118: Both treks are perfectly positioned to walk off the track and into Kokoda tomorrow. Trek 1117 has pulled up for the night at Isurava Village. Trek 1118 is now at Deniki.
